Past Events 2017

In celebration of the release of Sharptooth’s first full-length album, “Clever Girl”, we’re having ourselves a rager. Mosh, activism, delicious eats, community outreach, ridiculous decorations and a few suprises, all in one show. There’s something for everyone!

We will also have representatives from our sponsors in Feed The Scene (who have probably housed like, all of your favorite touring bands), as well as Hollaback Bmore, an incredible organization fighting the good fight to end street harassment.

Hollaback Bmore is working to build a network of supportive non-threatening environments within our city. The Baltimore Safer Space Pledge, aligns spaces with this campaign, as well as declaring their commitment to ending harassment against women and LGBTQIA folks. If you experience gender-based harassment or violence while in these spaces (or anywhere with our official Safer Spaces Poster) the staff should take you seriously, deal with the harasser, and offer support resources if you need them.]”

Come join us at the Feed The Scene house and learn how to navigate what goes into running a scene that is safe and respectful from War On Women and Hollaback Bmore‘s very own Shawna Potter!!! BYOdrinks, light apps will be provided. ANYONE AND EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO ATTEND. Even if you don’t “run” a scene. If you are curious about the concept, are thinking about becoming more active in a community, or just want to make some rad friends who are all dedicated to making our scenes better, come hang out.

Have you been seeing #metoo in your feed lately? Are you a man/masculine person who is starting to understand just how pervasive harassment and violence towards women and femmes is? Are you tired of being silent? Do you want to use your voice to help stop the harassment and violence towards others? Welcome.

It’s time for men to step up. You can no longer say you are a “good guy” because you don’t harass. We need you to take action, talk to other men, organize, and advocate. Hollaback! Baltimore is looking to start a “men’s caucus” that is held accountable by our leaders, but puts in the effort to organize and SHOW UP on their own. We need leaders, we need passion, we need partners. We cannot end gender-based violence without you.

Meet us at Windup Space to talk about the next steps. Invite your friends. Let them know this is important to YOU (not your girlfriend/wife/daughter/sister/mother).

The Baltimore Free School is *inside* of Red Emma’s Coffeeshop. We’ll be in the room on the left before you hit the bathrooms.

With hate crimes and harassment on the rise, knowing how to be a good ally to your fellow Baltimoreans is more important than ever. “No Sexism, No Racism, & No Homophobia Allowed” is a great idea, but how do you implement it in real life? And what is it missing? This workshop should help people recognize some of the privileges they walk around with, as well as provide some skills on how to use it for good. You’ll leave with concrete methods to be a better ally for folks that experience all kinds of discrimination in your local scene. Whether you see it happen on the street, in a store, or you experience it yourself – you have the power to stop street harassment and create a safer scene.

Thanks to a generous donation to our Safer Scenes project this summer, this workshop is free and open to the public, but donations are always welcome.
